Society & Culture - 12 December 2006

How many of you have actually taken the time to study other religious philosophies in depth, to gain an unbiased and objective perspective of them?
If you have, which ones?
Did you not notice any correlations between the mythology of older religions and the stories you read in the Bible?
DId you know the modern Bible was completely rewritten, revised, and had books removed by Emperor Constantine in the 1200's, when the Roman Catholic Church was formed?
If you haven't done this, why are you so sure your beliefs are infallible and that all other religions are wrong?

Can you tell me one belief/concept of at least 4 religions other than the religion of your own?

And as for judging atheists and agnostics, I just ask you to respect their belief for not believing in god, I myself am an agnostic and I respect your choices

I just want to know how many people know about others in the world

I'm just curious what people think on this subject because I know that psychological traits don't exists in isolation. They are patternized and related to each other. That's why very introverted people often make good poets, writers and philosophers. Gotta think about something during all that quiet time. In the case of someone's spirituality or lack thereof, what other traits do you think are correlated?

Seems like it would work. You have that one Benny Hinn guy, who started out with what I would have called the worst comb over of the millenia. Now I think he has some sort of persian wool hair plugs. But doesn't it make sense if you could heal, and fix stuff with a touch of your hand, wouldn't you invest some hand time in stopping the retreat of your youthful quaf?

I always like to give a point to people who took the time to answer questions,especially good ones. Now and then I give a thumbs down, but refrain from doing so unless extremely replusive for one reason or another.

How many people here are have a job in or are studying in the math or science fields (not including secondary ed, animal science, or nutrition) and have complete faith in their religion (besides buddhism)? I mean complete faith, like you go to church or your place of worship every week.

The threat of eternal punishment binds people to outdated holy books. How can humanity change and progress when the fear of not believing these books forces people to accept irrational dogmas?
